The Future of OpenOffice.org

OpenOffice.org 2.0 should become available in the spring of 2005. This version promises decreased load times, overall improved speed, and the addition of a database component similar to Microsoft Access. On top of this, there will be a slew of bug fixes and feature enhancements that will make this already outstanding office suite even better.

Many governments, businesses, and schools are already evaluating the use of OpenOffice.org as a replacement for Microsoft Office. The lack of a license fee and its open document format make it a very attractive program.
